Five months later, she tells me, I never told you that, : we always have MSG in our fried rice.  I was very unhappy with the : service.

So many places have gristle-chicken, etc.  All we : want is stuff like sweet and sour chicken, beef fried rice, boneless : spareribs....  I know, unimaginative, but when we want non-Americanized : Chinese food we go out for it.  :)

Charlie Chaing's in Shirlington delivers.  They are a bit more expensive than the usual Chinese takeout, but they seem to use a little higher quality ingredients.

My personal favorite is Hunan Regent on Wilson Blvd...they'll even make you dishes that aren't on the menu....

Pizza SO BAD that it disproves the theory that anything that gets delivered can't be all bad.

Try Canton Gourmet Express on Columbia Pike.  The best pan-fried meat dumplings.  The duck is very good too.
